Summary "Crying for the Light; Or, Fifty Years Ago. Vol. 2 [of 3]" by J. Ewing Ritchie is a historical novel written in the late 19th century. The narrative delves into societal and religious struggles, exploring the complex character of Rose, a young actress grappling with her faith and the moral dilemmas posed by the churches of her time. Through her journey, the book likely addresses themes of redemption, spirituality, and the critique of institutionalized religion. At the start of the narrative, the focus shifts to Rose's inner turmoil as she feels a deep longing for spiritual truth amidst the constraints of society and the performances of her profession. Ritchie presents her as a character in search of divine connection, reflecting on her experiences with various churches that often reject her due to her career as an actress. As she navigates the divide between her art and the expectations of faith, she encounters a range of religious figures, each representing different attitudes toward spirituality and morality. This opening sets the stage for explorations of societal hypocrisy, the quest for meaning, and the struggles faced by individuals who do not fit the conventional mold, inviting readers to engage with Rose's poignant quest for enlightenment.
